Eden Roc is located high up 5 min from the cable car. When you arrive by public transport (post bus) you go off at the last stop (Telecabin) and continue the road until sign-posted Eden Roc. With heavy luggage I would strongly recommend to take a taxi for the short distance as it’s quite uphill. The house entrance is 1 level (16 steps) above the car park. But once in the building you can take the 1st lift on the right from ground floor to go up to the 1st floor.
The flat was clean, nice, warm and welcoming. There was a large living room containing a dining table with 3 chairs and a corner bench. A sofa made out of 2 or even 3 individual mattresses to be used for sleeping. 2 Armchairs, a coffee table and a carpet. There was also a large TV/Video set but the DVD player had a UK plug for which there was no adaptor provided.
The basic kitchen was in a separate small room with electric (not ceramic) hob, oven, under-worktop fridge with the top shelf a freezer compartment, microwave, water kettle, coffee machine etc. The master bedroom had a double bed frame with 2 single mattresses, the 2nd bedroom had a single youth bed and a bunk bed but without a safety rail for the top one. Both bedrooms were quite small but had plenty of hanging space and some shelves but neither had a key to lock.
There were 2 tastefully tiled bathrooms, 1 with toilet, sink and bath and the other with toilet, sink and shower.
There was a nice balcony at the front, where we ate dinner on most days. But unfortunately a newly erected 5 story building opposite was obscuring some of the beautiful view onto the mountains. At the back there was a small private garden with an old PVC deckchair and 2 old wood/material deckchairs for sunbathing leading to a large but very steep grass area where you could climb over to access the road without going through the staircase (take care in wet whether!). The entrance hall and staircase were well lit with sensor operated lightings.
The building is managed by caretaker who lives on site but only speaks French but the flat is looked after by a local lady who never made contact with us.
I can also confirm that the owner promptly acknowledged receipt of payment (by bank transfer) and sent all the required info for the flat.
In summary; I would highly recommend 34 Eden Roc for a nice and pleasant holiday.
